What is an Epoxy Floor
Coating Kit?

Simply put it’s a high performance floor coating kit. The decorative coating can be used for offices, shops, or other interior surfaces, but it’s most widely used in private homes for garage flooring .

It consists of clear hardener, base color (only available in tan or gray), paint chips to shake on the surface, and a clear coat. The product resists chemical stains, oil, shoe scuffs and, tire marks. In addition, it creates an easy-to-clean finish and is very simple to apply and no special equipment is required

Epoxy Floor Coatings - Not just for Garage Floors!
Verandas & Basements benefit too. There's Nothing Quite like it!

Most Handy Andy's have probably used Epoxy paints on their home floors these days, and for very good reason. Epoxy floor coatings are found everywhere now and not just in the garage and basements as used to be the case. This is simply down to the supply meeting the demand for this fantastic hard wearing, and versatile product. It's just perfect on residential and commercial floors where a long life covering is needed. Epoxy also has a very well deserved reputation for being effective, extremely durable, and easy to apply.

If you’ve used Epoxy before, you will know that these coatings give long lasting protection to cement floors with a glossy finish that is easily recognizable. The paint is readily associated with the garage floor in particular and can sometimes be found on verandas. Occasionally, epoxy floor coatings can be seen in basements too, like the basement in my house.

When my better half and I first moved into our new house, we were prepared for tackling the fowl odors left behind by the playful canines which the previous owner had. You see, the person who we bought the house from was an ardent dog lover and cat enthusiast, and her home reflected that. She kept her four pedigree dogs and two large cats close to her at all times and it appears they were equal partners in the house.



After she moved out, there were a few revealing signs that animals took residence in the home. Once we got rid of the fur and the fleas, we were faced with removing the odor. This was no easy task. We tried a number of floor cleaners that had great results upstairs, but the basement was still filled with pet odor. My husband decided to apply a couple epoxy floor coatings on the basement floor to address the problem.

The epoxy floor coatings did the trick, but at a price. The industrial-strength product is extremely strong and very effective and that is reflected in its chemical odor. The smell left behind by the animals was completely engulfed by the smell of the epoxy floor coating but the latter odor was a welcomed change.

We had to stay in a hotel while the epoxy paint fumes worked their way through the home, but after a relaxing weekend away, we came back to a practically odor-free house. The epoxy floor coating also addressed some moisture problems in the basement, covering mold and mildew accumulated before the wall was repaired. This professional-grade paint took care of two significant odor problems at once.

The basement floors are now clean, shiny and odor-free. The colors of the epoxy floor coatings are limited and none would be on my top ten list of perfect floor finishes, but after all is said and done, I’m very content with the outcome. The floors are easy to maintain and need no special floor cleaner to keep them clean. Additionally, the odd color can be covered with a nice, thick carpet or rug should you want to hide this epoxy coating from view, after all, it is typically a garage floor paint.

We have no plans to keep any pets in the home in the near future, but we may do further down the line. Now that the place is clean and odor-free, I feel as if we have a brand new house that may need a couple pets to really make it a home.

Oh, by the way, the paint went much further than we anticipated so painting the garage floor is also now on our list of things to do and we strongly recommend epoxy flooring for anyone having problems floors.



Floors for Folks says: Good ole Epoxy! It’s the garage floor paint that has protected and beautified millions of garage floors across the country! The Epoxy finish for garage floor types has proved to be the best choice ever which is why it’s as popular today as it ever was. And in 2008, concrete epoxy coatings have never been so advanced, tough and long lasting. If you have a tired garage floor that needs a little loving care, then treat it to a couple of garage epoxy coatings. You'll never regret it!
